#27 Why Team Rituals Matter (and 5 Ways to Build Them for Your Team)
Welcome to the 3x5 Leadership Podcast where we champion intentional leaders who create significant impacts. This show offers simple, practical strategies to help you live, lead, and learn more intentionally.
You can listen to the episode on Apple and Spotify!
Every great team has something unique they “always do,” things that become traditions and, eventually, rituals. In this episode we explore the power of rituals and a few simple ways we can establish meaningful ones with our teams.
Why establish rituals? Because rituals:
- Signal value to the team
- Create safety and belonging
- Cultivate connection
- Build engagement
- Establish continuity, predictability, and resilience
You may recall rituals your family or friends had as a child, even if you didn’t call them “rituals.” In the same way that you remember those, your team will remember the rituals you establish with them now.
We hope this episode will inspire you to explore something new that purposefully promotes connection and adds meaning to their weeks, months, and years.
